Theron and Andrew first met in Kindergarten and have spent many years together as teammates, college roommates and hunting partners. Theron and Madi met at CSU Chico and were lab partners in their Ecology class. Theron was the one that introduced Madi and Andrew at Joes's Bar for the first time. Theron is by far their most intelligent, responsible, caring and reliable friend, that is why he was asked to fulfill this special role.

Andrew and Madi's 4 year old furchild that goes everywhere with them. She enjoys duck hunting with her dad or sleeping in with her mom, hanging out/getting scolded by her grandpawrents and drooling in the car while waiting for her weekly puppacino. She has promised to do her best to sit still and avoid jumping in the river the day of the wedding.

Madi's absolute favorite ginger, female soulmate, fellow animal lover, human diary and long distance best friend! Their perfect day would consist of playing tennis while listening to a music playlist that will make you cry one second and break dance the other then binge watching a series on Netflix while drinking Go Girls and eating watermelon sour straws in fuzzy blankets while cuddling every animal possible on the couch.

Andrew's older brother ( by 16 months) Brothers by blood and best friends by choice. You can find them hunting, fishing or on the phone together on almost every given day.

Madi's oldest sister, the best role model and the greatest mother to her three nieces. Their relationship mainly consists of made up words, random dance moves and laughing endlessly. She is the reason there are gluten free desserts ;)

Best friends since 4th grade and an honorary member of the Shippelhoute household. If you find anything broken at the wedding, it is likely he did it, but will also be the one to fix it.

Madi's older sister, the best role model and the best fur mom. They share a love for gas station food, chocolate everything, scratchers and peer pressuring others into drinking alcohol. Watch out for this one ;)

After moving here from Switzerland, Butte College Baseball brought these two together in 2014. After retiring in 2016, they have become obsessed with golf and financial planning. It has been said that Andrew is Michael's good luck charm ;)

Andrew's highly intelligent, patient and beautiful sister. Point at any spot on the globe and she has most likely been there. Madi's fellow cat loving, chili truffle eating, also bad driver, country concert BFF.

Butte College Baseball brought these two together in 2014. Teaching Tevin to duck hunt is like teaching Andrew how to golf. They feed off of each others bad ideas when together and cannot be trusted when left alone.

Bella and Madi are CSU Chico alums, fellow Joe's Bar regulars, long haired cat lovers, bow hunting beginners and the reason that Alex and Andrew are still alive ;)

These two met in little league around 2005. Since then, they've ruined their hearing by blowing endless hours of goose calls and shotgun shell blasts. All winter long you can find them in a duck blind.

Animal Science majors at Chico State that first hated each other but then quickly became besties over their love for veterinary medicine, cats, Joe's Bar, Dutch Bros and eating snacks in bed. She is the life of the party while also being the "mom" of the party.

These two first met in Little League back in 2005 and did not become friends until 2013. That is around the time they discovered their mutual love for having a good time, expect nothing less the night of 10/01/22.

The Catholic School in Colusa brought these two together and through all of life's changes they have always been their for each other. She is the best mom, friend and if you want something done, you ask this girl.

These two retired Mendocino Hotshots worked together from 2018-2020. The only thing they enjoyed more than hard work was having a good time. They both thoroughly enjoy running chainsaws and drinking Coors Light.
